LA Charges

The San Diego Chargers are come to LA and will Change their name to LA Chargers

The LA Chargers Pro Football Team

Just last year around this time my sport blog was all about the Rams football team moving to Los Angeles.   It is now one year later and yes, we still have the Los Angeles Rams although, not everyone is happy with their performance on the field.

Now it seems the City of LA will also be getting a second NFL football team, our cup indeed runneth over.  It seems that the San Diego Chargers will soon become the newest Los Angeles NFL team.

What was the reason for the Chargers moving to LA?  They want a new stadium. Now I have actually been to QualComm Stadium which used to be called Murphy Stadium back in the 60’s. It is an old stadium and would cost millions to upgrade to meet the new standards demanded by the NFL which is why a new stadium was being assessed as a solution.

Unfortunately for the San Diego Chargers neither the owner of the team or the San Diego taxpayers were willing to foot the bill for a new stadium.

With their move to LA they will share the brand new state of the art stadium already planned for the LA Rams

Southern California does seem to be the new hub-hub for sports; we have two very good local baseball teams, The Dodgers and The Angels.  We have two basketball teams, the LA Lakers and the Clippers, also two good hockey teams the LA Kings and the Anaheim Ducks. LA also has two pro-soccer teams, the LA Football Club and the LA Galaxy.  Not to mention two very good and very competitive local colleges UCLA and USC both with very good football and basketball teams.  Now add two NFL Football teams.

As we know local Sports teams are good for our Southern California’s economy. They do provide jobs and lots of jobs for local residents.  Restaurants, hotels, car rentals, and even local merchants selling fan apparel or food will do extremely well.

What won’t do well are our local freeways and roadways.  Game days will become traffic nightmares. Traffic was so bad for the Ram’s home games many people missed the whole first half sitting in traffic just blocks away from the game.  Don’t even get me started on what people were willing to pay for parking.  Last I heard it was a $100 to be less than one mile away from a game at the Coliseum at Exposition Park, around $50.00 if the fan was willing to park over a mile away and walk.

With the ‘Los Angeles’ Chargers it could be even worse.  At least where the Rams are playing the stadium has around 92,000 seats.  The Charges are schedule to play as early as next season in their temporary home at the StubHub Center, which is located on the campus of California State University Dominquez Hills in Carson.  Unfortunately for many Charger fans, the stadium only has 30,000+ seats with approximately only 3,000 premium and field seats, worse yet, only around 10,000 on-site parking spaces.

This will definitely be ‘first come – first serve’ as far as ticket sales goes, far worse than what happened when the Los Angeles Ram tickets first went up for sale.

However the local merchants surrounding the Carson stadium will definitely prosper as did the local merchants around the LA Coliseum.

Hopefully once the two teams are actually playing in their official stadium, the traffic and parking woes will be reduced.  I am also hopeful that either the Metro or Amtrak will step-up and be able to provide much needed relief for fans by providing direct transportation to the games.

Will end my blog by simply saying ‘Welcome to LA’ to the new LA Chargers and their fans.
